Freedom of speech is loosing ground in the UK.

Will the Muslim Horde permit the Church of England to exist in the United Kingdom?

and Canada. To be expected. When the security card is played, freedom will always pay the price.

More like the Brits and Euros still have some higher standards remaining and don't want these sorts of troublemaking hatermonger assholes polluting their soil. Why should I even condemn the Brits for banning this idiot from entering, just like they did previously with American rightwing extremist hate-radio host Michael Savage, when I thought that it was perfectly appropriate for the Canadian government to ban George Galloway from entering Canada? And you can bet your bottom dollar that I would have done the exact same thing with that evil lunatic bitch Ann Coulter as well.

Like the CEO in 'Robocop' said, "BEHAVE YOURSELVES!!! (or just go fuck right off)".

By the standards of today, the UK would not allow Winston Churchill to come for a visit.

Yes, Winston Churchill was against mutlti-culturalism (he opposed
the Nazis "immigrating" into Europe). Their holy book wasn't the Koran. He
wasn't embarrased at all of the Union Jack waving proundly (which would make him a racist). He spoke well
of the English speaking world (which would also make him a racist).

He did say a lot of good things about English Canada (he might get away
with that[outside of Quebec]).

What would do him in though is speaking well of the United States and
being half-American and commenting that if his father was the American
we would be speaking in Congress not as a guest, but as a member. That
alone might bar his entrance.

Quote:

Home Secretary Theresa May said Jones "has been on my radar for a few months now."

Meanwhile she's letting the Muslims bombing her country's subways and protesting their war dead fall off her radar? Another waste of skin.

If he had gone ahead with the Quran burning, that would have been a protected act. Disgusting, but protected, as he's an American in America enjoying those protections.

However, when he tries to enter another country, that country is under no obligation to allow him entry, is it? Just as Canada is not obligated to allow entry to boatloads of Tamils, or so we're told, England is not obligated to allow entry of a known troublemaker. Just as Canada was under no obligation to allow George Galloway entry.

Countries have an international obligation to permit their own citizens departure and reentry, but as far as I know, no country is obligated to allow entry to people who are not their citizens.

I'm not saying that denials of entry to people who are travelling for purposes of speech is right, but I don't think there's any legal obligation.
